How much weight can I lose?
The timeframe for seeing results varies depending on factors such as individual medical conditions, adherence to the prescribed program, and consistency with the protocol. Each person’s journey is unique, yet we witness daily transformations, with many experiencing noticeable results within a short period.
Is your weight loss program safe if I take other prescription medications?
Our team of weight loss specialists will assess your unique situation and tailor your weight loss regimen to suit your individual needs. This involves considering any existing medical conditions, medications, hypertension, heart disease, hormone imbalances, and cholesterol levels.
It’s essential to recognize that embracing a healthy weight and lifestyle can mitigate or even resolve many ailments stemming from excess weight. Prioritizing effective weight management is pivotal for your overall health and wellness.
What are your medications compounded with?
LifeRx.md uses 503a and 503b FDA-registered ingredients to make safe, high-quality medications without salts like sodium chloride or citrate, which can affect their work. We offer cleaner formulations that can be personalized with optional additives like fat burners, B6, B12, or levocarnitine to support your health goals. You can also choose to exclude certain additives.
Since everyone’s body is different, your medication is made just for you. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider if you have allergies, or health conditions, or take any supplements, so we can ensure your medication fits your needs and keeps you safe.

LifeRx.md Membership Questions
Does everyone qualify for the weight loss program / BMI?
